“Ask yourself who, in all the world, would be the best novelist to imagine being Rasputin’s daughter. Kathryn Harrison makes the answer obvious. Her Enchantments is a stupendous work of historical imagination.” —Peter Carey

Praise for The Arrogant Years: One Girl’s Search for Her Lost Youth, from Cairo to Brooklyn:

“The Arrogant Years is a paragon of memoir writing, a story about the complex swirl of people and events and forces out of which individual lives are made — some, like Ms. Lagnado’s, more painfully, but also more fully, than others.” —New York Times

“Lagnado is a gifted storyteller who spins ordinary family experiences into enchanting fairy tales, complete with magical backdrops…nasty villains and dashing heroes…. Vivid and evocative…tender and heartfelt.” —Kirkus

Praise for The Flame Alphabet:

“Ben Marcus is the rarest kind of writer: a necessary one. It’s become impossible to imagine the literary world—the world itself—without his daring, mind-bending and heartbreaking writing.” —Jonathan Safran Foer

“As I read The Flame Alphabet, late into the night, feverishly turning the pages, I felt myself, increasingly, in the presence of the classic.” —Michael Chabon
